(SPOT.ph) Our frontliners are our modern-day heroes. They may not wear capes, but they crusade every single day to help out COVID-19 patients and more—despite the many risks of doing so. The least we can do is to extend a helping hand—and while staying indoors is helpful in itself, you can go beyond and actually give what you can to help fuel our frontliners’ bodies. We round up a number of ventures that let you do exactly that by letting you donate cash to provide food for hospitals and other establishments in need. The best part is, you don’t even need to leave the house to do so.

Lend a helping hand by donating to these ventures:
Project Nourish
Project Nourish is The Moment Group’s initiative aiming to help frontliners by letting you buy meals for them. These come in the form of pack meals brought to medical teams in hospitals and clinics, construction workers in emergency quarantine facility construction sites, and even quarantined patients. A packed meal goes for as low as P50.

CloudEats
CloudEats is the largest cloud kitchen company in the Philippines.

They deliver meals to frontliners twice a day, and make zero profit from the venture.
